The prophecy, the search, and the recognition of
His Eminence the Fourth Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche are
told in the book E MA HO! published by the
Jamgon Kongtrul Labrang and can be obtained from Pullahari
Monastery and viewed on www.jamgonkongtrul.org.

Today, His Eminence spends time between Kagyu Tekchen
Ling and Pullahari Monastery, the monastic seats in
India and Nepal founded by the Third Jamgon Kongtrul
Rinpoche. Jamgon Kongtrul Labrang is prioritising
His Eminence’s studies, training, and the receiving
transmissions from the Lineage Masters at this time.
Though still young in years, His Eminence has started
to assume responsibilities of the activities of his
predecessors. Annually, he also graces his presence
at the Kagyu Monlam in Bodhgaya, India, led by His
Holiness the Seventeenth Gyalwa Karmapa, and leads
the Kagyu Monlam in Kathmandu, Nepal.

At Pullahari Monastery, His Eminence grants daily
audiences between 10.30am and 11.30am (except on Wednesdays).

Om Swasti! The one whom the Glorious
One’s flawless prophecy foretold would accomplish
the enlightened activity of all the Victorious Ones,
and to whom the great emperors of China paid homage
by calling him “Rasuso Huwang, King of the Precious
Dharma” is Karmapa, Ogyen Drodul Trinley Dorje.
This proclamation is his.

To the people of the world, particularly
to those residing in Tibet, Great China, India, Sikkim,
Bhutan, Nepal, Hongkong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Switzerland,
Singapore, Japan, America, and others; to the people
of these great lands, to lamas, tulkus, laymen and
women of every station, I offer this to you.

In this world, the sole source of happiness
and benefit is the precious teachings of the perfect
Buddha. That these teachings remain, flourish, and
spread depends solely upon those who are capable of
upholding them. In the lands of India and Tibet, many
great beings holding high the incomparable blazing
white parasol of the doctrine have come, and continue
to come. The greatest of all of them is the one who,
in this age of strife, performs enlightened activity
that is truly miraculous – he is like the moon,
the lord of the stars, who alone amongst the midst
of luminaries is able to emit the cooling light. As
the Victorious One, son of Shuddodanah, said in the
Samadhi Raja Sutra, “The One who will
perfectly benefit sentient beings will be called ‘Lodro
Thaye’. This is my prophecy.”

The third incarnation of this great
being, whose coming was foretold in the Victorious
One’s flawless prophecy, was without rival in
the entire Land of Snow. He was lord of the completely
perfect teachings; like a wish-fulfilling jewel, he
dispelled the inner torments of all beings. He was
the crown ornament of the lineage upholding the definitive
meaning, the Karma Kamtsang. It is impossible to speak
his name lightly or idly. The great sound of his name,
“Jamgon Lodro Chokyi Senge,” reduces samsara
to shreds. According to his intention he has come
again, this great friend of the Teacher’s doctrine
and of all beings, even those who do not know him.
He was born to the south of the Glorious Karmapa’s
seat of Tsurphu, in Chushur district amidst many villages,
the circumstances of his birth being in accord with
my description in the Letter Describing the Signs
earlier, held in faith by gods and men.

Now in this special purpose, I offer,
to the son born in the year of the Pig to Yab Gonpo
and Yum Yangkyi, this recognition as being the genuine
reincarnation of the Third Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Chokyi
Senge.

I hereby bestow upon him the name Jamgon
Lodro Chokyi Nyima Tenpey Dronme Chok Thamched Le
Nampar Gyalwe De. I sing his praises, and empower
him to sit on the towering throne of Dharma. All sentient
beings should examine the legacy of his predecessors,
respect him, serve him, and pay him homage. Even though
he has not reached adulthood, all should hold this
supreme tulku in only the highest regard.

To all those genuine, unbiased, supreme
tulkus who are the glorious protectors of the doctrine
and beings, and to the sangha of scholars, masters,
and monks, I offer the following:

The one whom the Great Fourth prophesied
in many sutras and tantras, and whom the Second Victor,
the Great Guru, also foretold, was the genuine being
Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye. His name was renowned
as the sun and moon. The Third in the garland of his
incarnations was the great Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Chokyi
Senge, whose reincarnation has now indisputably appeared.

Being completely certain as to his authenticity,
I have bestowed upon him the name Jamgon Kongtrul
Lodro Choyki Nyima Tenpey Dronme. And I hereby request
all unbiased and supreme tulkus, and the sangha of
scholars and masters, to pray that through this supreme
tulku’s mastery of the Three Wheels and the
three types of scholarship, he may bear the awesome
responsibility of disseminating the Great Fourth’s
flawless teachings throughout the hundred directions,
and in so doing make his predecessors’ legacy
his own; that his lotus feet be unshakeably planted
here on earth; that he be as indestructible as the
vajra; that he and his activity be surrounded by only
the most excellently favourable conditions; and that
these favourable conditions increase and increase.
I request all the aforementioned to give whatever
assistance to him that they, in their wisdom, know
to be necessary.

This proclamation of the authenticity
of the Fourth in the garland of emanations of Jamgon
Kongtrul is made by Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje in
his Seat of the Pure Land of Tsurphu.
